1. Rest in peace

2. I didn't agree with everything he said or did ....

.... and - speak it softly - I didn't vote for him in '81.

But unlike certain other characters I could name, I always thought of him as "one of Ours".

May he sleep well.

3. I am sorry to hear that.

He was one of our best politicians.

At least, he lived to a ripe old age.
